How's a guy 'sposed to cope? Maybe I should just start again in normal mode.

Yeah, the difference is huge.
You can fight the Spotpass teams instead for free if you want. You can summon them over and over which I thought was a bit strange. I expected there to be a cool off period of some sort.
Yeah but I won't be able to fight them for awhile, will I? I mean, I couldn't even DAMAGE the boss in the Regna Ferox gate mission with anyone other than Frederick. I'm in desperate need of leveling up, and some people who are made of paper, like Sumia and Miriel, aren't going to cut it any way other than training against whatever is easiest.
Oh yeah, good idea. I could just grind against some of them thar harvest foes.
GAF, I have a simple question.
I'm before the sidequest to get Yarne, and I have to choose if I should ally with the red army, the green army or fight both.
So the question is... is there any difference if I make a choice or another (in general, not about Yarne) ? I searched for walkthroughs but couldn't find anything...

My no reset rule didn't last long. I got to chapter 3 or 4 and lost Sumia on the pegasis almost immediately.
This is my first fire emblem, so I was kind of bummed when there wasn't any dialogue from the other characters achnowledging a characters death. Unless maybe it's not til the end of the battle?

Hard Mode became a bit of a cakewalk to me after playing Lunatic.

Lost characters aren't really acknowledged at all. Except maybe at the end of the game, some games (or all of them, I don't remember) will tell where they fell when it tells you what all the characters go on to do after it's over.

Yeah, that was kind of dissapointing. It was funny for that specific mission because Sumia dies and then the MC and Chrom start talking about riding the pegasis with her. :lol
Dunno. The villagers give you a lot of shit if you just murder the lot of them though.

Yeah, you get different rewards based on which group you pick, and fighting both is best since you can access all four villagers and I think you get the best reward after you finish it?

Wait till you try Lunatic - so much fun! (no joke heh)Hard mode is hard, guys
Hard mode is hard, guys
Also, on hard mode, is it just me, or are Reeking Boxes 10x the price of the ones in Normal?
Yeah my first time at Hard was.. Hard. I needed some grinding and whatnot. It's so satisfying when you manage to do a Hard run with no grinding, and still get a party of 8 characters that can handle themselves without dying.

Best character in game.
... Never realized that. Cannot unsee.
Owain means wood?
Trojita
Rapid Response Threadmaker
His Japanese name is Wood. Just Wood
Really? Wow that's a swell name.
Trojita
Rapid Response Threadmaker
I think it is kind of a fitting name for Lissa to come up with.

This is probably been asked a billion times but, help me pick husbands for all the waifus
So far I have
Chrom x Olivia
MaMu x Tharja
Lon'qu x Cordelia
Vaike x Sully
Stahl x Cherche
I was thinking
Sumia x Frederick
Maribelle x Henry
Miriel x Ricken
The rest I have no idea
Arranging all these marriages is tough ;_;

Buying this tonight, pretty pumped. Flubit gave me a £27 deal, but rather than wait days for postage I'm just going to go buy it from a store. Hopefully won't have any issues finding it a month after release.

Nowi x Gaius gave me a really good Nah. Their supports together were actually kinda sweet honestly.
Donnel is also a good alternative if you don't feel comfortable about Nowi's situation.
Can't say much about Panne, besides her and Gregor supports being good.
Sumia X Henry ... Sumia X Frederick kinda sucks for their kid.
Maribelle X Ricken
Nowi X Donnel
Panne X Gregor
Lissa X Libra; I went with Frederick while not her Ideal; he does give Owain Luna and Dual Guard + access. Libra is probably his best gameplay option .
Miriel X Gaius or Virion (he's kinda one of the kids that is impossible to fuck up, I think his best dad is Lon'Qu for all that speed but he's already taken).

No babbies for old Fred seems to be the concensus. Thanks dudes
Aside from giving Galeforce to sons (or to save time on daughters) is there anything significant I should pass on to the kids?

He can't get galeforce but he has built in Tomefaire/Dark Magic access + can get dual support + from the mum/aggressor/limitbreaker. He's an amazing support character (probably want him as a sage for those bonuses thought).
Dual Support + for gerome/laurent. Deliver or lancebreaker for yarne (I wouldn't bother both skills kinda suck in his ideal class - Berserker.
Axefaire for the fathers who can pass it if the kids going to be an axe user; Sol if Gaius has a daughter; Wrath or Zeal for Noire/Morgan.

Depending on the pairing, if the father can become a Fighter and his child is going to be a daughter and can't be a Merc, you would look into passing down either Sol or Axebreaker.
For Cherche and Miriel, you could look into passing down Dual Support+ as their kids can't learn it.

In Awakening, basically any character who appears in any story scenes after their first mission in your party don't really die, they're just wounded and can't fight anymore. That includes Sumia and most early female characters, also Frederick and Virion.
Acutally, Sumia can't die. She just gets out of battle and never joins again. Otherwise Future Past dlc wouldn't make any sense.

All the potential mothers don't die in this game and instead just retreat.

A word document or on a piece of paper? That's how I did it for my first playthrough.

Thats to stop them getting married and dying after a child is created (that would be a paradox). They also retain support ranks for similar reason (no multiple marriages in FE...even if you kill your wife, mates for life you are) which is unlike the GBA FE games or Path of Radiance*.
*-I wound up with Sorren dead but it meant Ike could support Ranulf instead.
